We have been learning about shapes and position words. Position words tell us where something is or where it is going.

We use words like: On the cushion, on the mat, In front, behind, the back of the class, around, under, beside, between, middle, on top, in, through, out, off.

We have also learned about turns and can make full and half turns. Quarter turns were new for us and can be tricky.

Task: Pick a picture of the blocks in a pattern (don’t show your buddy). Using our maths words describe how to make the pattern. Remember to give accurate clear instructions.

Success Criteria:

I use the correct names for shapes

I use our maths postiton words

I give clear instructions about position

I follow postion instructions

I can: use a quarter turn and understand the maths position words.

It was hard when: we played Simon says because sometimes Kerri tricked us and it was hard then.

I really liked: making the shapes that the people say.

Jamie, you show whakawhanaungatanga in and out of the classroom. You use kind words and you do notice when people need help. It can be really tricky when you have an idea that you want to share and somebody else is already talking. Remember to keep on sharing your fabulous ideas and thinking during learning times.Kerri
